Windermere Nursing Home Expansion - Sentara

Windermere Nursing Home Expansion

Sentara Life Care Corporation

This project involved the expansion of Sentara Windermere Nursing Home from 60 beds to 90 beds. The new expansion accommodates a combination of private and semiprivate resident rooms, and resident services including a chapel, beauty/barber shop/shoe shine area, a general store, resident kitchen area, and activity space. Existing dining facilities, reception lobby, public toilets, and housekeeping spaces were also renovated as part of the project.

The layout of the resident room is designed to facilitate two different layouts without changing the actual configuration of the room drastically. All resident rooms are sized to be semiprivate rooms to accommodate two patients, so the user could determine the ratio of private rooms to semiprivate rooms. The expansion is designed so that the facility could ultimately house up to a total of 120 resident beds in the future.
